Steven Crowder's Youtube Channel

I have no clue how things would work in a "true federation". Care to expand? If it's what I'm imagining, I could see plenty of reasons why it would have a lot of negative trade-offs.

The most positive trait would be keeping tax dollars local rather than sending so much revenue to DC for redistribution. A huge layer of corruption opportunity would be reduced along with a shit load of waste and abuse. Let the states stand as nation states aligned under the constitution with federal participation limited to interstate affairs and defense.
Basically, how the country operated prior to FDR, under Calvin Coolidge. The closer the political systems are to the constituents the less nefarious they are. Naturally.

I guess I still see a lot of tradeoffs. Besides economic complexities with the modern businesses conducted across state lines, I imagine you'd see even more variation in QOL metrics from state to state than you do now, with some states quickly racing to the bottom without a centrally mandated floor put in place. The biggest risk I see is that you shift the potential for abuse on the federal level to the state level. Anyone who's ever dealt with the law can tell you that a small town cop can be a different breed of dictator without some sort of oversight to keep him in check.
I think you need a balance between state and federal government to keep each other in check. Not sure where the middle ground should be, but I can at least appreciate that it needs to be there.

I agree that it is complicated.

I mean its literally the reason we separated from England. Now Americans are doing their damndest to bring England here.

big fan of the channel. hes funny. i dont agree with alot of his ideas and opinions but i respect his wit and humor. hes sometimes a little annoying and predictable but i think he is a good guy and has always been respectful and thankfull for his success.

 

[ThinkGreen]

Crowder was an S&P guy back in the day iirc. I did enjoy the change my mind segment regarding there only being 2 genders though. Plenty of lols in that one.

 

[Ruprecht]

I don’t remember this dude ever posting.

I think he was discouraged from using Sherdog as a platform for shameless self promotion.

Literally hitler imho. There is no room on sherdog for threads about a video you saw or made on politics. Maybe I’d have to see how he posted them. But yes I find his non change my mind videos boring. Well maybe the painting Mohammed one.

It's the same deal with anyone making threads to promote their MMA betting website, their German Shower Enclosures or their offshore document forging operation.

Whatever happened to all the gay judo threads

Hmm. Not sure. Never spent any time in the grappling technique subforum, didn't even know that was a thing there...

It was a running gag a long time ago. I don’t even remember why it started but was a funny gig

Cliffs:
Girl tweeted out the location (with pictures) of the host when he was giving street interviews and asked people to torch his van.

Host was at Texas State Democratic Convention, recognizes and confronts her with her tweets and pictures on a poster board.

Gets ganged up on with typical responses and lies (are your feelings hurt? Trump literally said that we need to kill innocent families etc...)

They all of the sudden start chanting about Health Care.

Gets accused of trying to get people to hurt the girl that he was confronting.

Gets called a Nazi.

Gets escorted out by police.

I know Stephen Crowder can be a shit stirrer, but these people are insane. The DNC needs to distance themselves from this crowd as much as possible before 2020, or imo they don't stand much of a chance.

 

[Soul Crusher]

The same type of insanity you see in that video is seen here in the WR.

Progressive liberalism is a severe mental disorder.

 

[spin]

I watched the video as a show of good faith. First and last crowder anything.

Whatever point be tried to show fails miserably.


He wanted attention, he got it, no one did anything illegal.



Victim card play denied.

Here's a fine example of that mental disorder.

LOL the left looks like lunatic and crowder looks like a professional troll. Which one represents the mainstream of the party these days? Let me guess, both sides are the same here.

Crowder used to post here. We trained him to troll and now he went out into the world like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon.

 

[TidWell]

Thats scary why ask people to fire bomb someone, these type of people are cowards the type who will spit in your food over a disagreement and attack you when a group of people are already hitting you cause they cant go one on one

Reminds me of that manlet professor who hit the one guy on his knees telling people please stop no fighting and he hit him in the head with a huge ass bike lock leaving the guy with a huge bloody gash on his head.

whatever happened to that guy?
